Sites 1 and 2 are public housing development at Choi Yuen Road and San Wan Road respectively. 1.1.2 Site 1 is bounded by Choi Fai Street on the north, Choi Yuen Road on the south and Po Shek Wu Road on the east. It is zoned “Industrial” (“I”) and currently an existing public car park under Short Term Tenancy (STT). The proposed public housing development will comprise of about 2,088 flats and is envisaged to be completed by Year 2025/26 for Phase 1 (2 residential blocks), Year 2027 for a new public transport interchange and Year 2029/30 for Phase 2 (1 residential block). The site location and its environs in the vicinity are shown in Figure 1. 1.1.3 Site 2 is bounded by Ka Fu Close on the north, San Wan Road on the south and Po Shek Wu Road on the east. It is zoned “I” and “Other Specified Uses” annotated (Bus Depot) (“OU (Bus Depot)”) and partly as an existing public car park under STT and partly as WSD’s depot under TGLA. The proposed public housing development will comprise of about 1,556 flats (3 residential blocks) and is envisaged to be completed by Year 2025/26. The site location and its environs in the vicinity are shown in Figure 1. 1.1.4 This TIA study is to examine the impacts of the traffic generated by the proposed public housing development at the Sites on the existing and planned road networks, particularly with respect to the performances of the affected junctions in the vicinity; and present the findings and results of analyses of the other traffic and transport issues related to the proposed public housing developments. Any deficiency would be identified and improvement proposals would be recommended if necessary to resolve any foreseeable problem. 1.2 Comparison of Development Plan of the Sites 1.2.1 According to the latest development plan provided by HKHA, the development parameter and population in take year of the proposed public housing development in the Sites has been updated. Table 1.1 below compares the development schedule (i.e. those adopted in the accepted TIA as abovementioned in para 1.1.1, and the latest development plan) of the proposed public housing developments in the Sites. 236072-09 | Revision 14 | March 2021 Page 1 \\HKGNTS69\TRAFFIC_GROUP\DOCUMENT\236000\236072-09 INSTRUCTION NO.

The corresponding assessment based on the latest development parameter will be detailed in the succeeding sections. 236072-09 | Revision 14 | March 2021 Page 2 \\HKGNTS69\TRAFFIC_GROUP\DOCUMENT\236000\236072-09 INSTRUCTION NO.

  • Executive Summary of Technical Report on Traffic and Transport
    Civil Engineering and Development Department Agreement No. CE61/2007(CE) and Planning Department North East New Territories New Development Areas Planning and Engineering Study – Investigation Traffic and Transport Assessment Executive Summary INTRODUCTION This report provides a baseline review and a traffic and transport impact assessment of the proposed North East New Territories (NENT) New Development Areas (NDAs) Development under the Recommended Outline Development Plans (RODPs), for the existing and planned transport system. A 2-tier transport modelling approach is adopted. Strategic transport model is developed to provide quantitative input for highway capacity analysis of the major highway corridors, whereas local transport models are developed to support the local network and junction design. TRAFFIC AND TRANSPORT ASSESSMENT ON THE RODPs The model runs have identified the potential overloading of the existing Fanling Highway Kwu Tung Section, the Po Shek Wu Interchange and the So Kwun Po Interchange due to the proposed NDAs Development. Various highway network improvement options to resolve the problem and minimise noise and air pollution are explored and outlined below. HIGHWAY INFRASTRUCTURES Widening of Fanling Highway Kwu Tung Section It is recommended to widen the existing Fanling Highway Kwu Tung Section between the San Tin Interchange and Po Shek Wu Interchange from the existing dual 3-lane without hard shoulder to dual 4-lane with hard shoulder, and to divert the adjacent Castle Peak Road with the associated utilities. Various widening scheme options have been reviewed and it is recommended to widen the expressway towards the northern side so that the impacts to the existing nearby historical buildings and Old and Valuable Trees (OVTs) could be minimised.

It is the intention to solicit public views through discussion on four topics, namely, strategic roles of NDAs, people-oriented communities, sustainable living environment and implementation mechanism. This topical note is prepared to provide background information on strategic roles of NDAs with a view to facilitating public discussion on this topic. 1 Background “The Planning and Development Study on North East New Territories” (the NENT Study) commissioned in the late 1990’s, identified Kwu Tung North (KTN), Fanling North (FLN) and Ping Che/Ta Kwu Ling (PC/TKL) as suitable New Development Areas (NDAs). It recommended that KTN, FLN and PC/TKL could proceed as one scheme (Three-In-One Scheme), i.e. an integral whole with shared community facilities, infrastructure and reprovisioning arrangements.
